Question:
I'd like to use a strap; what strap would you recommend?
asked by: Del C
Expert Reply:
On the Dutton Lainson # DL15721, the ratchet style two-way means that you will be able to ratchet the load in or let it out by ratcheting the handle, so when letting a load out the weight of the load will not just totally let go.
This would be the style of winch I would recommend for your application. For a cable you'd then want the part # DL24102 which is 25 feet long. You'd have to attach the winch to the top of your post as the bottom of the winch is the mounting bracket. I wish we had a recommended way to do that but you'd have to find a creative way to do this.
